“In light of the ongoing issues we are facing in our community regarding players who constantly abuse and violate our rules regarding AFK/Idling, we are pleased to announce that the recent hunts we did were very productive and should help us to minimize these abuses.

* 42 players were banned in the initial AFK/Idling Hunts.

* 298 players were warned for their actions and are now under our watchlist for the next AFK/Idling hunt”

“Yes it is a permanent ban if you are caught with this kind of violation, but if it’s your first time you have the option of reinstatement. And the catch is:

Account Wipe – All regular ships and purchases are wiped clean. Only things left would be (as far as I can remember) all types of premium items including premium ships and premium time. Credits will also be wiped clean except for doubloons.

Once a player agrees to an account wipe, his services gets reinstated as promised and the above explanation for the wipe will be done on his account.

If by any chance the player decides to return to his old habits, a 2nd ban will be enforced on his account (without the option of the “WIPE“) so it’s BYE-BYE completely.”

It seems the Russian option came to EU as well – you can now buy (almost) any amount of gold. Minimum is 500 (2.25 €) and it goes to maximum of 1,000,000 (3,289.91 €). The arrows move by 100 gold, but you can write exact amount inside and it will calculate the price.
